바카라Oh no! My hometown Budapest is flooding! The streets by the Danube river are completely flooded. I was told that some teams had to change hotels due to 바카라Force Majeure,바카라 Susan Polgar wrote on her X (formerly known as Twitter)
바카라It does not effect the playing venue at all. But I am told some teams that stay on Margaret Island have to move because buses cannot get to them,바카라 she added.
One of the players who has been affected is the Chinese Grand Master, Ding Liren, who had to change his hotel, according to Chessdom.
This might have had a major say in his decision to not play India바카라s D Gukesh in the seventh round clash at the Olympiad.
